Indonesia arrives on the scene In the last 5 years alone, Indonesia has finalized the purchase of no less than 84 modern fighter jets: 42 Rafale and 42 J-10C. However, nothing compares to the strides made by the Indonesian Navy. The country acquired 8 modern frigates and 2 battery-powered electric submarines - with Tot- in a Naval Group configuration that allows for submergence periods of up to 80 days. Indonesia, alongside Japan and Germany, now becomes one of the sole operators of this new generation of submarines. Including smaller vessels, the nation has closed deals for approximately 20 ships in these last 5 years alone. To build the ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) capabilities of this fleet and support army operations, nearly 100 reconnaissance and combat drones were purchased, with a highlight on 60 Bayraktar units. This is joined by the acquisition of Turkish ballistic missiles with technology transfer, as well as at least 2 to 3 models of Turkish and Chinese anti-ship missiles. Fighters - 42 Dassault Rafale (Air Force, contracts in tranches with France, 2022–2023). - 42 Chengdu J-10C (Air Force, contract with China, October 2025). Submarines - 2 Scorpène Evolved-class submarines (Navy, contract with Naval Group/France and PT PAL, 2024–2025). Frigates and Major Surface Combatants - 2 PPA-class frigates (Thaon di Revel/Brawijaya) (Navy, contract with Fincantieri/Italy, 2024). - 4 Arrowhead 140-class frigates (Balaputradewa) (Navy, licenses from Babcock/UK, local construction by PT PAL; 2 initial + 2 additional in January 2026). - 2 İstif-class (I-class) frigates (Navy, contract with TAIS/Turkey, January 2026). Smaller Vessels (OPVs, Patrol Boats, and FAC) - 2 90-meter OPVs (Navy, local construction by PT Daya Radar Utama, started 2021). - 2 additional KCR-60-class Fast Attack Craft-Missile (Navy, local construction by PT PAL, ~2024–2025). - 2 18-meter patrol boats (Navy, donation from Japan via Official Security Assistance, 2025). Mine Countermeasures Vessels - 2 Pulau Fani-class MCMVs (Navy, built by Abeking & Rasmussen/Germany; delivered and commissioned 2023–2024). - 4 Inspector 90 USVs + Seascan and K-Ster systems (ROVs) (Navy, contract with Exail/France, June 2025). Helicopters - 3 Bell 505 Jet Ranger X helicopters (Navy, delivered 2021–2022). UAVs/Drones - 60 Bayraktar TB3 + 9 Bayraktar Akinci (primarily Navy, joint contract with Baykar/Turkey, February 2025, with local production). - 14 ScanEagle (Navy, contract with Boeing Insitu). - 12 Anka (Air Force, contract with TAI/Turkey, 2023). ( Indonesia is also developing indigenous UVVs) Anti-Ship Missiles - 45 Atmaca (Navy, initial units under contract with Roketsan/Turkey, 2024; additional contracts in 2025 for more units and local production). - Çakır (anti-ship cruise missile, Navy): Contract for local production with Roketsan/Turkey (July 2025), quantity not specified. - YJ-12/CM-302 (coastal anti-ship, Army): Acquisition confirmed in 2025, no public unit number. Ballistic Missiles - KHAN system (export Bora) (Army, contract with Roketsan/Turkey ~2022–2025; number of units/batteries not publicly disclosed). Other Confirmed Upgrades - Upgrades to CN-235 MPA and C-130 Hercules (Air Force, contracts 2024–2025; number of affected units not detailed publicly, but applies to multiple existing aircraft).

The Chinese Drone Carrier: Not Just Power Projection, But a New Era in Naval Warfare The Type 076 is a Chinese Navy amphibious assault ship with a full-load displacement exceeding 40,000 tons. It combines traditional amphibious warfare features with advanced drone operations, making it the world's first to be equipped with an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS) and arresting cables for launching and recovering fixed-wing aircraft, primarily unmanned reconnaissance and combat vehicles. Its amphibious role is similar to the Type 075, but it adds a full-length flight deck, electromagnetic catapult, and arresting gear, enabling operations with heavy, long-range fixed-wing drones that couldn't take off vertically like on the Type 075. The real Chinese masterstroke is this: Catapult-launched drones provide long-range reconnaissance, real-time intelligence, and suppression of enemy defenses, while constantly searching for, tracking enemy units, and guiding missiles onto targets. All this while unload troops and equipment on beaches. Being amphibious extends its reach into true three-dimensional land operations: Helicopters handle rapid troop transport and close air support; Fixed-wing drones extend the range: surveillance beyond the horizon, strikes on distant targets, target acquisition, missile guidance, and electronic warfare; Well deck vehicles carry out the actual beach landing. The result is a perfectly coordinated assault across multiple dimensions (air, sea, land), boosting both the efficiency and survivability of the landing force, while maintaining A2/AD through a vast network of airborne drones linked to the operational missile forces. What stands out in the Chinese war machine is the precise integration of everything. There are no gaps between equipment, planning, and execution. It's all extremely well connected. This is the pioneering drone carrier, the Type 076, while the Type 075 remains a more traditional helicopter-focused amphibious assault ship. There are persistent rumors of a future Type 077 or further evolutions, but nothing confirmed yet. As I said in another article, the heart of Chinese target acquisition are drones, and they will build many of these drone carriers to expand that capability. These are far smaller investments than conventional aircraft carriers and much cheaper to produce. At the same time that China projects overwhelming power with its large ships, it is also building a cheaper fleet structure that's no less potent.
